Jung’s own views on psychedelic risks are widely disregarded and mis-appropriated. In practical and accessible terms, what does ethical harm reduction work with these unpredictable substances look like? Together we will rethink the “psychedelic renaissance” from a Jungian and Process Work perspective: class is open to all.
This course is open to everyone, including people who are unfamiliar with Process Work or unfamiliar with Jung, and who want to learn a useful, harm reduction based, ethical approach to psychedelics, especially psychedelics in the context of therapy.
What real harms exist with psychedelics, and what additional unique harms are possible when psychedelics are mixed with the vulnerability and power imbalance of therapy? What is the historical track record of psychedelic therapy in protecting clients? What safeguards are essential to protect people from harm – and what are some danger signs that “psychedelic therapists” and “guides” are misusing their power?
Psychedelics are set to disrupt the way humanity approaches healing and wellness, making way for a new paradigm in healthcare and cognitive liberty. We bridge scientific, academic, philosophical, societal, and cultural disciplines, covering up-to-the-minute developments and diving deep into crucial topics. Together, we are leading the discussion in this rapidly evolving ecosystem.
Through compelling content, thoughtful conversation and industry-leading education for a community of over 1.8 million annual learners, Psychedelics Today has the largest global reach of any media platform in the modern psychedelic realm. We honor this responsibility with humanity and humility.

Will trained with leading psychedelic teachers in the 1990s but helped break media silence around psychedelic therapy abuse when he wrote about his personal experiences on Mad In America and Medium, catalyzing widespread media attention. Will’s therapy practice includes work with people who have taken psychedelics, and he supports access to these substances and ending the war on drugs, but he is opposed to “psychedelic therapy” and the medicalization and commercialization of psychedelics.
